Stunning.

Gorgeous... what a great melding of the roaring 20s cloche and modern felting techniques.

my eye is fine and i was able to get my contact in yesterday. so all is well.

i take my own photos. i would love to give some guidance whereever i can help, but i take my photos pretty much like i make my hats.... i know what i like to see thru the lens and i take the pic. My husband is a photographer as you know, and he is much more fastidious than i am:) I use a white posterboard for the bottom and a white tri-board for the backdrop (which i can hang different cloths on dependent on what color i need or want). i use natural light (my studio is all glass on three sides) and i am very proficient at photoshop (my husband is also a graphic artist so i am able to get all the programs he uses via hand-me-down) i use a canon powershot SD600 and it has a wonderful macro on it. i also ALWAYS use a tripod. my settings are usually on 'night' with macro and no flash.... and that's it. oh.. i know how to use levels in photoshop and i am very particular about the color on my monitor. my monitor is calibrated, so for me i can see the colors as they truly are... i also try to use different background filters so that others, who do not have calibrated monitors, will hopefully get the 'feel' and the colours as i am trying to show them. does that make sense?

i have to work for the next 3 days but i will definitely check out sarah's site....

i don't know how you keep it all together. i am so unsocial and you seem to be able keep all things together all over the place. i am very glad to know you :)

talk soon. r.

Hey, Rachel- Did your eyes heal up OK? What a horrible experience!

Do you take your own photos or do you have a professional photographer do them? They are stunning. Could you give some guidance on the photo topic in the forum? I think everyone would benefit from your experience. If you don't take them yourself, it would be interesting to know cost and who gets the copyright on them.

I'm going to send my cancer friend over to you. Her name is Sarah (extremely talented artist) and hopefully she will buy something from you. You might be interested in trading, too. Her work is powerful: ceramics, paintings and computer imagery. Lately she's been using her xrays and incorporating them into images: http://www.sarahroush.com/index.html

As for the hat pictures, they show up on the main page, not on my page... I'm kind of all over the place because I started this thing, but hopefully as more people get involved, my mug will get lost in the shuffle...

OK. I banned you. If that gives you problems with other accounts, I can always revive you. If you used the same e-mail elsewhere, you should be OK. OK, OK, OK?

2008 was Busy.....

2008 was busy... but not as busy as last year. Thought I'd post the "Last Year" pic. These pieces were made in 2008 and it is not all of them (there were doubles and triples and quads made of some of the Attitude Hats) and it doesnt include any 'personal' knitting for myself or family. Hope you all have a peaceful, lucrative and healthy new year!See you all at 1000Markets.com

Past Patterns


#503: Flapper Slip-On Evening Dress $16.00 (US dollars)

A typical dropped waist of the Roaring Twenties is created by a yoke over the hips. The tiers of circular flounces form a lovely vision while dancing. The scarf and the tie sash patterns are included. This pattern is quick and easy to make.

This pattern is multi-sized 8 through 20. All the sizes are in one package. Look at our National Standard size chart for your size. Sizes 8-12 require 5 3/8 Yds. of 45 inch wide fabric; sizes 14-20 require 5 5/8 Yds. of 45 inch wide fabric.

HOW TO MAKE LENAPE STYLE MOCCASINS
Shared by Mèssochwen Tëme

The same pattern is used for both feet so you only have to make one pattern. Once you make the pattern you're all set, and you can save it for making more moccasins in the future.

Fashion-Era, A Costume Resource


Fashion-era contains 715 content rich, illustrated pages of Fashion History, Costume History, Clothing, Fashions and Social History. Sitemap



"At Fashion-Era.com we analyse two centuries of women's costume history and fashion history silhouettes in detail. Regency, Romantic, Victorian, Edwardian, Flapper, 1940's Utility Rationing, Dior's New Look, 1960's Mini dress, 1970's Disco, 1980's New Romantics, Power Dressing, Haute Couture, Royal Robes, Fashion Semiotics, and Body Adornment, each retro fashion era, and future fashion trends are all defined.

We've also outlined the history of Jewelery, Perfumes, Cosmetics, Corsetry and Underwear manipulation of the body silhouette. Fashion history is a rich area to explore. The effects of past and present technology, changes in work, leisure, media and homelife that affect lifestyle trends, attitudes, fashion trends and shopping trendsetters are all covered in the various eras.

Newer sections such as hats, hair, cloaks and capes, ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman fashion history continue to explore and make this a great web fashion history and costume history resource. Some sections also include consumer tests for example on clip in hair extensions plus tips on how to buy and sell vintage, pattern drafting and Christmas themes. There is also a Fashion Forum over 4 years old called Fashion-era Forum. There you can discuss anything from current fashion trends, old photographs, vintage to costume history or from Greeks to the 21st century."

Egyptyian Dress Costume Collars

Ancient Costume - Egyptian Dress Costume Plates

Part 5 - Ornamental Patterns and Egyptian Collars

"

Styles of Egyptian robe with free pattern guides were discussed on the detailed pages of Egyptian Costumes. However, decorative elements were mostly confined to the removable collars on garments and other removable accessories such as headwear, girdles (striking wrap sash belts) and deep arm cuffs. But if you need a wearable costume you have to have basic body covering too, so check out my other Egyptian pages.

To complete your Egyptian costume add a collar, typical jewellery and eye make up. To be fair there are plenty of King Tut collars available at fancy dress party costume outlets online. But part of the fun of going to an Egyptian fancy dress event is making your own Egyptian inspired costume and most importantly achieving something that fits you proportion wise rather than being made as one size fits all."
